http-Gmail problems suggest js?

Sep 01, 2016 5 Replies

Common problems on lynx, links2, midori, dillo, netsurf point to RPi's implementation of java script - I think?



lynx, links2 fail when entering the UserId & paswrd. Their is ambigious, and is probably. js-controlled? midori is OK except that shows no text against the blue-background.. Again the entered text is probably js-controlled.. BLINDLY entering the text to the fields results in a confirmed OK send. It's the rendering/display of the keyed-in text which is missing.



What succeeds on the 2USB-port-model RPi for http-Gmail?



== TIA.

lightweight browser don't support (or very badly) javascript. Using basic h tml gmail should help (you will not have all the features though).

Each browser will have it's own implementation if Javascript, its not something which can be shared, unlike Java.

I'm pretty sure there are Javascript implementations available as linkable libraries that can be shared by browser developers.

================ Well, since web-based-gmail would be a *HEAVY* user of js: have any RPi users been able to do a full-cycle gmail. Eg. logon+fetch header list+fetch selected mail & save to file+ select-compose+paste pre-written text to other sender plus self-CC; without getting: Mail Delivery Subsystem... Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: ... Technical details of permanent failure: Message rejected.  See

There's duktape, rhino (in Java), see, spidermonkey (from Mozilla) and v8 (from Chrome) at least. But integration with the DOM is a major part of Javascript in the browser these days and that is likely the major source of issues, the language itself it a pretty straightforward functional language that shouldn't be hard to implement correctly (efficiently is another matter). Then there's the little matter of interaction with CSS (usually somewhat buggy itself).
